			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>“Every message brings us closer”</strong> this is the tag line of <strong>Nokia’s new offering E5</strong>. I have been using it now for nearly one week and I think its enough time for first impressions. I will try to do a video review regarding the software later, and here we will just get a quick look of the hardware offering. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00098.png" width="570" height="540" />&#160;&#160; </p>
<h2>What’s in the box ?</h2>
<p><strong>Nokia E5</strong> comes in an all dark blue color box, which now seems to be a <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/nokia">Nokia</a> standard. We have seen the latest <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/20-reasons-you-may-want-to-buy-a-nokia-n8-features-you-should-know/">Nokia N8</a>, <strong>C6&#160; and touch and type phones</strong> being shipped in the same color box. The packaging is standard and you will find the following in the box:</p>
<ul>
<li>Nokia Wall Charger </li>
<li>Wired Stereo Headset </li>
<li>Nokia branded Mini Usb data cable </li>
<li>Handset and Ovi quick start guide </li>
<li>Warranty card </li>
</ul>
<p>The content of the package may also depend on your local market. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00099.png" width="570" height="498" /></p>
<h2>The Hardware</h2>
<p>Nokia E5 comes with 600 MHZ ARM 11 processor, Symbian OS v9.3, Series 60 rel. 3.2 . It has 250MB of internal memory and 256MB ram, which really makes it really snappy during usage. Nokia is known to make great hardware and E5 is no exception. The build quality is excellent and the phone feel really good at hand with no slippery surface. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00103.png" width="570" height="691" /> </p>
<h3>The front panel</h3>
<p>As you can see the front panel is finally very clean compared to Nokia’s older E series phones like E71, E63, E72 etc. The screen size is 2.36” with a resolution of 320px X 240px. I have been using a Nokia N97 and hence the screen size is really small to my likes. Below the screen you have left and right menu keys. Same metal piece form Call and End call key ( which is also used to turn on the phone ). Home and Messaging button are soft press button which is really neat. The keypad is made up of cheap plastic and give a queaky sound when you rub your fingers on it. The keys are small and the keypad take some time in getting used to. I have fat fingers so many times I ended up pressing two keys simultaneously. Once you get used to it, I don&#8217;t think it will be much of a problem. </p>
<p>The D pad was bit a disappointment for me, I was expecting it to be a touchpad as seen in E72, even I spent some time hunting for the settings thinking that touch pad might be turned off or so. The directional D pad is little hard to press when trying it with one hand while navigating numerous menus. I really wonder why Nokia decided the other way after the same was implemented in E72. I do keep swiping my thumb over the D pad thinking how awesome it would have been if it was implemented here. However, if you have not used an E72 before, you wont miss it anyways.</p>
<p>The second disappointment is the missing secondary camera. Considering the fact that this is a 3G phone, I was expecting a secondary camera for Video calls over 3G network , or via an <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/the-best-4-alternative-voip-applications-for-fring/">IM app like Fring</a> or <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/make-voip-call-using-googletalk-or-talkonaut/">talkonaut</a>. I actually interpreted the light sensor in the front with the secondary camera, later realizing its absence.</p>
<p>Microphone is placed just below the spacebar. </p>
<h3>The Sides</h3>
<p>Nokia E5 is quite a simple phones at sides. The left side of phone is free with any buttons other than the one to open the battery cover. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00104.png" width="570" height="205" /></p>
<p>The right side is has volume rocker, which can be used for zooming in an out also. This key is also little stiff and a pain to press.</p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00105.png" width="570" height="277" /> </p>
<p>Top of the phone house a micro USB port which can be used for charging the device via a PC or a compatible USB charger. Next to the microusb port there is a Nokia’s standard 2mm charging port and a 3.5mm audio headset connector.</p>
<h3>The back panel</h3>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00106.png" width="570" height="658" /> </p>
<p>The back panel showcase a fixed focus 5megapixel camera with single LED flash. The photo capture is not all that great, but during optimum lighting condition the results could surprise you for sure. Next to the camera there is a loudspeaker which is very very loud and very clear. Its easily audible in a noisy environment, but I personally don&#8217;t prefer to keep the ringing volume at high level, due to the loudness. The batter cover is made up of stainless steel Nokia E5-00 engraved on it. The back feels really nice while holding the phone, and also gives it a bit of a facelift too.</p>
<h3>Size Comparison with Nokia E63</h3>
<p>Nokia E5 is little slimmer than Nokia E63, but lengthwise both feel almost the same. I liked the D pad of Nokia E63 much better than E5, which is way softer than E5 for single handed use. However, the clean look of E5 wins many folds over E63. Check out the comparison shots. I thought of comparing the size with N97, but that would be&#160; a weird comparison due to different form-factors.&#160; </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5 vs E63" alt="Nokia E5 vs E63" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00117.png" width="570" height="474" /></p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00114.png" width="570" height="233" />&#160;<img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00115.png" width="570" height="228" /> <img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00116.png" width="570" height="344" />&#160;</p>
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
<p><strong>Nokia E72 is still costly than Nokia E5</strong>. Nokia E71 could be almost the same prize and E63 is way cheaper than E5. However, I am kind a confused about the positioning of E5. It could be said a big upgrade over E63, but missing front camera push it one step back. However, with huge internal memory , greater ram and faster processor it can very well challenge Nokia E72, but lack of touch sensitive D pad and autofocus camera again push it one step back. Having said that, I think Nokia E5 is a unique device and very rightly priced for people who are looking for cheaper blackberry alternative. The device feels premium at hand and great availability of apps via <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-ovi-store-goes-live-in-uae/">Nokia ovi store</a> is always an add on.</p>
<p>In the next part we will review the software part of E5. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia E5" alt="Nokia E5" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/DSC00107.png" width="570" height="482" /> </p>
<h3>Nokia E5 video</h3>
<p> <object width="570" height="343"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/GPv0pE_2jO0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/GPv0pE_2jO0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="570" height="343"></embed></object>
<p>So if you are planning to buy a Nokia E5 and still have any doubt, do leave your questions or feedback in comments and I will try to answer all of them. </p>

<p><a href="http://www.tecfre.com/20-reasons-you-may-want-to-buy-a-nokia-n8-features-you-should-know/">Nokia N8 camera is the best</a>. I said it now and am ready to say it again and again. You may say, “fine kanak but what&#8217;s the proof as I have read multiple articles and some of them say “its nothing special”&#8221;?” With regards to that, let me direct you to the blind comparison test done by GSM arena.</p>
<h3>What did they do ?</h3>
<p>GSM arena took three cameras</p>
<p>1. Nokia N8</p>
<p>2. Samsung pixon 12</p>
<p>3. Sony DSC-HX5v (Cyber-shot)</p>
<p>and shot around 7 to 8  photos and labeled them  A,B,C without letting people know which picture is actually shot by which camera. They asked people to vote. I had a closure look at the snaps, arguably I found C to be the best. No one remember the second best, so my whole concentration was to find out the best according to me.</p>
<p>Now why did I say that C is the best? Have a look at the images below, ( please click on the image for better resolution ) ( <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8_vs_samsung_pixon12_vs_sony_dsc_hx5v-review-519p2.php">for all other pictures please visit GSM Arena</a> ).</p>
<p><a href="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic1.jpg"><img style="display: inline;" title="pic1" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic1_thumb.jpg" alt="pic1" width="570" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>If you look at the picture closely to the bottom right, the small green trees look more detailed in Pic C, whereas in the other two it looks smudged. Also you can easily make out the lines in the wavey white roof very easily in pic C.</p>
<p><a href="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic2.jpg"><img style="display: inline;" title="pic-2" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic2_thumb.jpg" alt="pic-2" width="570" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>Now look at this pic, just under the Donalds text, you can make out the hammered screws very clearly in Pic C.</p>
<p><a href="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic3.jpg"><img style="display: inline;" title="pic-3" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic3_thumb.jpg" alt="pic-3" width="570" height="426" /></a></p>
<p><a href="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic4.jpg"><img style="display: inline;" title="pic-4" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/pic4_thumb.jpg" alt="pic-4" width="570" height="426" /></a></p>
<p>Above two pics are low light pics at ISO 400 and ISO 800. You can very easily make out that pic C is clearly the winner.</p>
<p>Now these are very minute details, and can only be analyzed when the pic is zoomed to its 100% level .90% of snaps look good at very low zoom level, just like snaps look good on small camera lcd screen but turn out horrible when seen on a PC.</p>
<h2>Results please</h2>
<p>So, I decided my winner i.e camera C and if it was not going to be Nokia N8, <strong>the title of this post would have been other way round</strong>. I eagerly awaited the results and finally <a href="http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n8_vs_samsung_pixon12_vs_sony_dsc_hx5v-review-519p2.php">GSM arena posted the results today</a>. First was the real identity of the camera and a sigh of relief and enormous joy, <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">CAMERA C WAS INDEED NOKIA N8</span></strong> <img src='http://www.tecfre.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  .</p>
<p>Next was the people’s preference and out of around 200 votes casted , Nokia N8 grabbed the highest around 161 votes. This means that I was not alone in selecting the pics from Camera C and they were indeed, The best.</p>
<p>So what&#8217;s there so much in Nokia N8’s camera and <strong>why some people trashed it</strong>? The only reason I could think of was individual preferences. Some people think that their individual preference is a reflection of the actual preference of the masses which sadly is not true. They think that the more green the grass is, much better is the pic. Nokia’s imaging guru and the man behind Nokia N8’s camera , <a href="http://twitter.com/PhoneDaz">Damian Dinning</a> has very clearly explained about individual choices of images ( <a href="http://twitter.com/MichaelxHell">via twitter @MichealxHell</a>)  :</p>
<p><img style="display: inline;" title="twitter-response" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2010/10/twitterresponse.jpg" alt="twitter-response" width="447" height="495" /></p>
<p>Ok , so N8 has clearly nailed it here, and I don&#8217;t think I am left with any doubt for not <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-n8-available-for-pre-order-in-uae/">buying a Nokia N8</a>. What about you ? Are you planning to buy a <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/connecting-people-do-it-best-with-nokia-n8-video/">Nokia N8</a> ? Does these benchmark test mean anything or you still think that <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/n8">N8</a> camera is “nothing special” ?</p>

<p>After <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-n8-available-for-pre-order-in-uae/">Nokia N8 was available for preorder in UAE</a>, I had plans of posting a detailed review with videos and pictures. Days after that,&#160; <a href="http://www.nokiausers.net/Nokia-Phones/The-Nokia-N8-Video-Roundup.html">Micky over Nokiausers did an extensive Video roundup</a> of <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/n8/">Nokia N8</a> and <a href="http://zomgitscj.com/2010/08/14/the-nokia-n8-is-bonerific-hands-on-report/">Clinton Jeff from zomgitscj posted a handson report</a> of his first encounter with Nokia N8. Do have a look at these articles.</p>
<p>Coming back to the topic, lets try to find out why you should <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-n8-available-for-pre-order-in-uae/">buy a Nokia N8</a>. Shall we ? <img src='http://www.tecfre.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  .. But wait… first have a look at the Nokia N8 official video, and then the reasons after the jump..</p>

<h2>1. Symbian^3</h2>
<p>Yeah, Nokia N8 is first Symbian^3 device and a step ahead of Symbian 5th Edition or S60V5 or the OS which run Nokia’s touchscreens currently available in market. To be frank, I was not such a big fan of <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-5800-review-conclusion-and-things-lacking/">S60v5 after owning a Nokia 5800</a>, but things got <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-n97-review-a-must-have-for-a-nokia-fan-boy/">little better with Nokia N97</a>. Symbian^3 comes with around <a href="http://conversations.nokia.com/2010/08/03/three-the-magic-number/">250 new features according to Nokia</a>. </p>

<h2>2. 12 Megapixel camera with Xenon Flash</h2>
<p>We all are aware of the outstanding camera phones made by Nokia.

<p>Nokia N8 comes with 3 homescreens which are highly customizable with live widgets connected to the internet. Each screen can be customized with upto 6 widgets like shortcuts, email, twitter and facebook notificatons etc. Also, each homescreen can have a separate wallpaper.

<p><a href="http://www.tecfre.com/get-life-time-voice-guided-navigation-ovi-maps-with-nokia-5800-navigation-edition/">Ovi maps with Free turn by turn voice guided navigatio</a>n is one among the many features of <strong>Nokia N8</strong>. Never get lost anywhere around the world with Nokia Ovi maps. <a href="http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/11895_TripAdvisor_partners_with_Noki.php">Tripadvisor</a> and <a href="http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/news/item/11966_Bookatablecom_added_to_Ovi_Map.php">bookatable.com&#160; are now integrated into Ovi maps</a><strong></strong>.

Now with small adapter provided by&#160; Nokia, you will be able to connect a <strong><u>USB Pen drive, a Mobile phone , Portable Hard disks etc</u></strong> and transfer or play audio and video directly from the device. Thats right, no more need to connect to a computer to transfer media.</p>

<h2>11. Capacitive touchscreen with Multitouch</h2>
<p>After Nokia X6, Nokia N8 sports a capacitive touch screen. Capacitive touch screens are made up of glass are very sensitive unlike resistive screens and provide the usage of multitouch technology. Nokia N8 supports multitouch, so now you have the gimmicky pinch to zoom capability in Web browser, Ovi maps , emails , photos etc.&#160;&#160; </p>
<p><object width="570" height="343"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4GUyJWLYkc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/o4GUyJWLYkc?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="570" height="343"></embed></object></p>
<h2>12. Hardened Gorilla glass</h2>
<p>Since Nokia N8 sports a glass touch screen, the durability becomes a big issue. To address this, Nokia N8 comes with Hardened Gorilla glass which is the hardest glass available in the market till date and hence prevent your glass screen from getting scratched. Why not check out the Gorilla glass below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.tecfre.com/spy-video-recorder-pen-ready-to-intrude-your-privacy-comes-with-1-gb-memory/">Portable recorders</a> have been very useful. They are used by journalists for reporting and businessmen for dictating notes. But one thing has been a source of worry – the size. When used as recorders, mobile phones, traditional recorders or MP3 recorders are too bulky for convenience. They therefore become cumbersome carry or even use at some point. Out of this need, Panasonic developed the ultra small MP3 <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/usb-mini-battery-power-your-phone-on-the-go/">USB</a> Recorder. This is a portable recorder that will occupy less space in your luggage and also give you sound files that is more versatile.</p>
<p><img title="Panasonic USB MP3 Recorder " style="display: inline" height="350" alt="Panasonic USB MP3 Recorder " src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2009/10/rr_us950.jpg" width="350" /> </p>
<p>One other useful feature about this recorder is the ability of the user to record in stereo or mono as required. This way, you are able to save some disk space for other recordings.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/waterproof-mp3-player-enjoy-amplified-surround-sound-underwater/">MP3 playback feature</a> also makes the device quite portable as there are many devices that are able to play this file easily including PCs.</p>
<p>The Panasonic recorder introduced another feature that is less seen on other similar appliances. <strong><u>You are able to zoom in the microphone. In practice, this means the user can stand afar off from the speaker or sound source and still record minutest details.</u></strong> This is a helpful capability that will serve journalists who for various reasons cannot get so close to the speaker to record.</p>
<p>Panasonic designed the recorder so that when you plug it up <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/the-new-dell-vostro-mini-tower-desktop-more-power-in-least-space/">the PC</a>, it only displays as storage media similar to what one finds with USB Drives. Thus, the PC is able to integrate it easily into its operating system and will result in less interruption with other programs.</p>
<p>With 45 hours of recording, the device is more than a journalist or investigator will need for his average job. Aside that, the recorder has an inbuilt security mechanism that requires a password to activate. This means, if you lose it, you are still assured of the protection of your sound.</p>
<blockquote><p>Following the style of MP3 portable players, you can save your sound files in folders. This brand can carry as many as 3996 files.</p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong><u>The Panasonic portable recorder is the ultimate choice for long version interviews or dictation. </u></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People with <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/amazing-bulb-lights-up-while-hanging-in-space/">limited space</a> or small desks have long wished for a PC that will not add to their burden. Practically, a smaller yet versatile computer that will take only a small part of the desk is what is wanted and that is exactly what Dell is providing offices and home users this year. If you are still now convinced with <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/dell-launches-the-smart-latitude-z-laptop-thinnest-and-lightest/">Dell’s latitude Z laptop</a> and still want to go for desktop, the newly released <strong><u>Dell Vostro 430</u></strong> is the PC many small businesses and students will want to have.</p>
<p><img title="Dell Vostro Mini Tower Desktop" style="display: inline" height="205" alt="Dell Vostro Mini Tower Desktop" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2009/10/vostro.jpg" width="288" /> </p>
<p>The small size makes it an ideal purchase for the small business office which needs to harness great computer power but with the least investment. With its moderate piece, the business is able to obtain dazzling computer speeds and advanced image output for its needs. Furthermore, the mini tower has been optimized for <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/windows-7-themes-wallpaper-slideshow-etc-details-leaked-by-microsoft/">Widows 7</a> so modern applications will be able to work on it without much need for upgrade. </p>
<p>For people in <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/cheapest-voip-provider-freecall/">VOIP</a> or similar industry, the Vostro ships with a free video conferencing software so they can cut down on their communication costs. Users also have the opportunity to leverage for Windows 7 capability to activate the novel zoom and tap-and-drag scrolling features previously only associated with the <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/iphone/">iPhone</a>.</p>
<p>This PC is for gamers and multimedia enthusiasts too. They have the advanced <strong><u>graphics processing from NVIDIA and ATI to display superb graphics and deliver outstanding audio</u></strong>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Perhaps the biggest plus for the <strong><u>Dell Vostro 430</u></strong> is the fact that, it works on <strong><u>Intel Core i5</u></strong> which is reputed to be a super fast processor for advanced graphics or video processing. It is also a great buy for businesses that need to handle large volumes of data or media files such as video and images. For people working on demanding programs such as Photoshop and Dreamweaver which require a large amount of RAM, the speed and convenience provided by <strong><u>Vostro’s 16GB RAM</u></strong> brings much relief.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/samsungs-seriously-slim-7000-8000-series-led-lit-lcd-tvs-released-in-india/">Samsung launched slim LED TVs</a> , much similar was expected from other TV manufactures. But Panasonic has a different outlook altogether. Internet-enabled HDTVs have been <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/samsung-lcd-monitors-supports-voip-lan-connection-is-enough/">experimented well over the years</a> but few have come close to offering consumers a truly browsable set that will display complete movie catalogs from internet sites. The low power <strong><u>Panasonic TC-P54G10 HDTV</u></strong> therefore comes at the right time when users are demanding more from their sets apart from broadcasts. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Panasonic TC-P54G10 HDTV " alt="Panasonic TC-P54G10 HDTV " src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2009/10/PanasonicTC.jpg" width="440" height="330" /> </p>
<p>The <strong>TC-P54G10 HDTV</strong> was made for gamers. It delivers <strong>superb colors</strong>. It is therefore the ultimate set to watch your games. Again, it can be used for high impact video editing or graphic design jobs where you need to accurately and vivid observe your output.</p>
<p>Following in the steps of other manufacturers, you have internet services incorporated into the TV. The service is provided by VieraCast, a notable provider. With this capability a user can select internet content from the TV set when not viewing any program.</p>
<p>The big size HDTV is also suitable for use in shopping malls or supermarkets where they can be used to display new products or simply serve as regular TVs for viewing by customers.</p>
<p>The <strong>TC-P54G10 HDTV</strong> <strong>does well when it comes to aesthetics</strong>. Its finished in<strong><u> lacquer black, bordered with thin lines and has a silver button to give it a glamorous appearance.</u></strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Quite uncommon of Panasonic, some of the menus sub items do not have explanations to them; making it difficult for some user to understand what the functions of such controls are. The company needs to include more information about each item.</p>
<p>For a TV this price and capabilities, one will be <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/television/">disappointed that the HDTV</a> has no picture in picture functionality – something easily obtainable on other cheaper brands. Aside that you cannot freeze images to take down some details from the screen. Lastly, Panasonic needs to improve on the controls of this set as it has a poor design.</p>

<p>We all know, <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/tag/nokia">Nokia</a> never marketed their <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-n97-review-a-must-have-for-a-nokia-fan-boy/">N series line up</a> for something <strong>less than mobile computers</strong>. But again as the mobile manufacturing market saturates, there was a need from Nokia to shift its focus to something more than just mobiles. Loads and loads of services, i.e. <strong><u><a href="http://www.tecfre.com/nokia-ovi-store-goes-live-in-uae/">Ovi store</a>, Ovi Share , Nokia Music , Nokia maps etc indeed hint the transition</u></strong>. We all know that a mobile phone can never actually replace a laptop , no matter how much you market it as a mobile computer. Nokia’s mobile phone share in the market keeps swinging between 35 to 40 percent and overall Smartphone share is somewhere static around 40%. This does not mean that the company is not growing, but it did indicate that the time is right to set up the focus on various other untouched areas, and <strong><u>Nokia Booklet has actually evolved from that</u></strong>. </p>
<p><img style="display: inline" title="Nokia Booklet 3g mini" alt="Nokia Booklet 3g mini" src="http://s3-ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/tecfre/uploads/2009/08/image5.png" width="560" height="314" /></p>
<blockquote><p>Nokia has undergone a very smooth transition from a Mobile manufacturing company to a mobile Services company and now to mobile netbook manufacturing company. <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/lgs-amazing-chocolate-black-label-4-series-phone-bl4-get-small-hand-on-review/">Mobile market is very dynamic</a> , and I don&#8217;t think its an easy task for Nokia now to <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/htc-hero-promo-clips-makes-it-the-most-desirable-phone-of-2009/">actually manufacture devices</a> , which can all of a sudden boost its overall share in the market. </p>

<p>Nokia booklet is amazingly beautiful netbook, its really got looks and style and will surely rock the netbook segment with true mobility. Nokia’s marketing team is the best compared to any other company in the world, and with every successful viral campaign, they end up creating such a great hype about the device. The only thing I await for is the price. Netbook segment is not at all over priced , and I hope Nokia is able to maintain the same resistance. </p>
<blockquote><p>With the Booklet 3G Nokia is also looking at delivering a superior Ovi experience out of the box, complete with a Ovi Maps widget that pin points your location within seconds and the other Ovi services such as Files, Music and Sync.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Below are the specification of the Nokia Booklet 3g which surely will make your want one :</p>
<ul>
<li>Intel Atom Chipset (Z530 running at 1.6 Ghz). No fan, which means near silent running. </li>
<li>120 GB hard disk </li>
<li>3G / HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, plus integrated Bluetooth for local wireless communication </li>
<li>12 hour battery life </li>
<li>19.9 mm thick x 264 mm width x 185 mm depth </li>
<li>10.1 inch glass HD ready display </li>
<li>Front facing video camera mounted, on top of the screen, for video calling </li>
<li>1 x HDMI port (for HD video out), 1 x integarted SD card reader, 3 x USB ports, 1 x audio port&#160; , 1 sim card slot.</li>
<li>Integrated A-GPS </li>
<li>Stereo speakers mounted on the front right and left corners. </li>
</ul>
<p>I am really excited about the overall response Nokia has got regarding the debut in the netbook segment. Its really a calculated move and I am sure the success will be on Nokia’s side. Pictures and Video below :</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How many times you asked yourself this question “<strong><u>How productive you are</u></strong> ??”. Everyone wants to be productive but<strong> lack of motivation</strong>, <strong>laziness</strong> etc take a toll on that. Same time, you are unable to convince yourself that you are <a href="http://www.tecfre.com/download-pacman/">wasting a lot of time doing unnecessary activities</a> on your system. And finally you&#160; end up praying that somehow you wish you could find out a way to measure your time spent on every activity you do on your system. These excuses are no more valid now, as you have got a tool with which you can</p>
<ol>
<li>Analyze the programs on which you spent the most of your time.</li>
<li>Measure your Active and Idle time</li>
<li>Generate a time line based on user created time tags.</li>
